Abstract

Abstract: The Confidential Social Network Referrals for HIV Testing (CONSORT) intervention leverages the ubiquity of mobile phones and social networks to nudge at-risk populations to test for HIV. Pilot results suggest that confidential SMS testing invitations are acceptable among diverse populations and may reach those at above-average risk of HIV infection.
